Towards a characterization of behavior-disease models
Nicola Perra, Duygu Balcan, Bruno Gonçalves +1
The last decade saw the advent of increasingly realistic epidemic models that leverage on the availability of highly detailed census and human mobility data. Data-driven models aim…
Phase transitions in contagion processes mediated by recurrent mobility patterns
Duygu Balcan, Alessandro Vespignani
Human mobility and activity patterns mediate contagion on many levels, including the spatial spread of infectious diseases, diffusion of rumors, and emergence of consensus. These p…
Modeling vaccination campaigns and the Fall/Winter 2009 activity of the new A(H1N1) influenza in the Northern Hemisphere
Paolo Bajardi, Chiara Poletto, Duygu Balcan +9
The unfolding of pandemic influenza A(H1N1) for Fall 2009 in the Northern Hemisphere is still uncertain. Plans for vaccination campaigns and vaccine trials are underway, with the f…
Information content based model for the topological properties of the gene regulatory network of Escherichia coli
Berkin Malkoc, Duygu Balcan, Ayse Erzan
Gene regulatory networks (GRN) are being studied with increasingly precise quantitative tools and can provide a testing ground for ideas regarding the emergence and evolution of co…
Seasonal transmission potential and activity peaks of the new influenza A(H1N1): a Monte Carlo likelihood analysis based on human mobility
Duygu Balcan, Hao Hu, Bruno Goncalves +9
On 11 June the World Health Organization officially raised the phase of pandemic alert (with regard to the new H1N1 influenza strain) to level 6. We use a global structured metapop…
Multiscale mobility networks and the large scale spreading of infectious diseases
Duygu Balcan, Vittoria Colizza, Bruno Goncalves +3
Among the realistic ingredients to be considered in the computational modeling of infectious diseases, human mobility represents a crucial challenge both on the theoretical side an…
